for, as he appears in his new play, edge
wood Folks"
'Edgewood Folks" is play which has
manv elements of popular success, and in the
hands of the present company cannot fail to
draw large houses. 1t is full of touches of
the gushing sentmentality of the average
novel as well as much other romantic non
sense In Tom Dilloway, who is an eccentric
individual who makes himself quite happy
with everybody, singing songs and playing
all kinds of pranks, Mr.. Sol Smith Russell
has part admirably adapted for his special
line of acting, his character delineations be-
ing almost as perfect as his rapid changes
were wonderful. He is great master of the
facial expression. and his makeup for his
second song celebrating the virtues of Rhine
wine, was one of his most complete transfer
nations. Hulda Jane Hardwick-a senti-

Better Telephone Facilities.

The Bingham and Moose River Telephone
and Telegraph Company have purchased the
Western Union Telegraph line from North
Arson to Bingham and will put up telephone
line from Moose River to Skowhegan by way
of Arson, Madison and Norridgewock. They
will use the poles of the Somerset railway
from Arson to Norridgewock and make the
Skowhegan terminus of their line at the
Heselton House. The Madison office will be
at the Weston House. This will be great
convenience to the people all along the river

A SHORT time ago a number
of very heavy pieces OF ord
nance were sent out to Vic
toria. 1t is now stated that the
defences of British Columbia are to
be gre atty increased. What are We
to infer from the sudden activity OF
the British Government in building
up a great military stronghold on
this coast? There is no other power
to guard against than ours. British
Columbia is safe from attacks from
all other powers, and unless Grea.
Britain is preparing for emergencies
with the United States, there is
no need of this formidable strength
ening of her little dependency to the
north of us. Perhaps the British
Cabinet are looking forward to COM
plications with this country that may
lead to war, and are making prepara-
tions that will give them a powerful
military advantage over us in the
start. With Victoria as the rendez-
vous for their ironclads, they could
menace this coast very effectively in
case of any serious international con-
troversy. Would it not be the part
of wisdom for our Government to
take serious notice OF these warlike
preparations, and offset them by
equally effective preparations on our
part?
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-05-27

the most exhaustive analysis, and there
are certain products which are dis
tinguishable rather by their different
effects than by any structural differences
which science can detect. OF this kind
is grape brandy as distinguished from
other brandies. 1t is apparently ident'
ical in composition, and yet its effects
are vastly different. In medicine, Tor
example, where this particular stlmu-
liant is required, grape brandy is the
choice of the physician, II he can be
assured of its quality, as he certainly
can of the character of brandy made
from California grapes.
California groans under the 80 cent
tax on brandy. and it has operated
almost as prohibition to its manufac-
ture. In the East the distilleries are, to
very great extent, close corporation;
but with us the wine-maker makes
brandy as well, and if he desires to add
modicum of his pure grape spirit to his
wine, as with some kinds of wine he
properly may, even though his still and
his wine vat are only ten feet apart and
under the same roof, he must pay the
government the 90.cent tax before he
can use his own brandy to fortify his
own wine.
Unlike the Eastern distillers, it has
not been practicable for our distillers t6
make powerful organization, so power
full as to make itself felt in Congress, ,ane
in consequence all our attempts to have
the duty on grape brandy removed have
been futile. Nor, indeed, do we see
much prospect to hope for q Tightening
of the burden until the common sense o
the people of the United States assert
itself and demands the abolition OF th'
internal revenue tax on all distilled spir
its, upon the plain proposition that it il
a useless and onerous imposition, having
fulfilled its original purpose. and nov
serving only TO accumulate unnecessar!
revenue for theGovernment and to keel
down an important domestic industry

IT is a curious circumstance that
the National Opera Troupe lost money
in San Francisco and came out with
large surplus over expenses in Los
Angeles. When we consider the
great number of people connected

the conclusion that their expenses
must have been enormous, and
nothing but first-class houses would
enable them to pay their way. Ihat
such troupe could draw from city
of the population of Los Angeles

California Brandy.

A w ashington dispatch states that
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has authorized the location in New York
city of special bonded warehouse for
the storage of grape brandy. 1t will be
used almost exclusively for the storage
in bond of brandy produced in this State,
for the reason that California is prac.
tically the only State which can make
grape brandy, and The necessity for
bonded warehouse for that purpose
shows the Impotence which the east
ern trade in that product Of our vine-
yards has attained.
Grape brandy is vastly superior in
every respect to the same spirit dis
titled from anything else. There are
problems in chemistry which still elude
